HOW TO BREATHE.
A Simple Exercise that VIII Defeat
Consumption.

[Julian Hawthorne in Home Knowledge.l
As regards the lungs, the more fresh out
door air you can get into them, the happier
and more comfortable you will be. But it is
not enough to go out in the open air; you
must learn how to breathe when you get
there. Most people let year after year go by
without once drawing full breath. guam
tity of impure air always remains at the bot
tom of their lungs, like bilge water in ship; {;
and it contaminates the whole system. If
you will breathe properly, you may get more
benefit from half an hour in your back yard
than another person will from twelve
hours dawdle at the-seaside. 1t is very
simple matter: breathe slowly, and breathe in
as much air as you can possibly get into your
lungs. When they will hold no more, then
emit your breath as deliberately as you took
1t in. Suppose you are walking at your usu-
al pace along the street draw In your breath
while you are taking seven steps; emit 1t
while you are taking the next seven, and so
on. It will make you feel queer at first but
keep it upl After practising this every time
you go out, for week or two, you will be
able TO breathe in while you are taking
eight or ten steps and later on, even more.

An ExcIergyman Arrested.

BRocKToN, April 25.-Arthur NJ. Morrison,
ex-minister and forger, was arrested late
Saturday evening by City Marshal Bailey
and Deputy Sheriff Porter on a warrant
charging him with carrying concealed weap-
ons, and since that time he has been charged
with stealing horse and carriage in Balti-
more, April 8. He denies the charge, but
says he knows where the team is, and that
he has ridden in it, Since his arrival in Co
hasset, where he resides, he has threatened
the Methodist church, whose name he had
forged in New York in order to secure favors
from religious societies. This fact Mr.sDun-
bar learned some few days ago, and when he
announced his intention to prosecute Morri-
Morrison was bound over in the sum of
$1,000 for his appearance next Thursday, and
to await the arrival of the Baltimore police.

STATE LEGISLATION DESIRED.
To Compel Railroads to Obey United
States Laws.

DEs MONIES. Ia, April 25.-The wide
spead discomfort among shippers, of the al
legged perversion Of the Interstate commerce
law by the railway companies in seeking to
exact extortionate rates, is assuming the
form Of project to call special session of
the legislature for the sole purpose of legis-
lating on the transportation problem. By in
quiry among the wholesale jobbers, it is
learned that for several days past wholesale
dealers, as well as stock and grain shippers,
have been in active correspondence, with the
end in view of holding series of public
meetings in order to give forcible expression
to public discomfort. These will be followed
up with request to Gov. Larrabee to con-
vene the legislature in extra session, to pass
the necessary law to force the railways to in
terpret the Interstate commerce law in its
true spirit, instead of taking technical ad-
ventage of isolated clauses to render it odi-

six field officers of the First Brigade of
the Maine Volunteer Militia this evening to

The Boston Hhrald says; Portland peo-
pie think that the Blues won't be any nearer
the front this year than they were last sea-
son. Portland brag is apt to have setback
such opinion Of the Blues. They regard
them as strong team, and are willing to
credit them for what they are worth. The

EAsTPoRT, April 25.-Most OF the sardine
factories In Eastport, Lubec and Robbins
ton have been ready to receive fish for the
last two weeks, but thus far not fish has
been packed. Factory owners are almost
discouraged, and the prospects for the spring
catch, which has always furnished the bulk
of sardines is exceedingly slim. The chances
are that the pack will be much lighter than
that Of any previous year.
